From Whence Does My Help Come

How do we judge what we are contributing to the kingdom of God? Are we looking at our efforts, or the Lord’s? This is our topic for the day. When God calls us to perform His will, how do we go about determining if we will accept His calling? Do we look at our own skills and determine if it is possible for us, and then reject those things that we feel are beyond our ability? Or, perhaps we look at Jesus and say to ourselves "He could do all those things because He was the Son of God" and thus justify our silence when God calls out our weak and miserable name? Well, we should not look at our own strengths and weaknesses, but to the promises and power of God who calls us, and can do all things.

Our Faith that lifts us above the Possible

We think that we know what our bodies are capable of doing, but do we really? What we actually know is what our physical bodies can do by themselves, and without the help of our faith in God. Jesus died on the cross, and by all the laws of nature that should have been the end, but it wasn’t; He rose from the grave. Peter walked on the water when Jesus called to him, but we all know that it is impossible for a man to do that… or is it? As long as Peter trusted in his faith he did the physically impossible, but when his faith ceased to make walking on the water real… he sank. What do we believe our bodies are capable of? Can we rise from the dead, walk on water, or perhaps enter a room by passing through its walls? Do we see our bodies, and Jesus, through the spiritual eyes of our faith, or are we limited to the physical eyes of Thomas?
